> the Dutch company has its registered address in the Netherlands, while the company is, according to its best knowledge, not (also) a resident of another jurisdiction for tax purposes;

In case any loans flow through the company there is an additional criterium:

> the Dutch company's minimum equity is adequate in relation to the functions performed (taking into account the risks assumed and assets used). It is advised to have an equity of at least 1% of the loan amount with a maximum of EUR 2,000,000.

It is announced that two additional requirements will be added to the above list:

> the Dutch company incurs minimal wage costs related to holding activities in an amount of EUR 100,000;

> the Dutch company has an equipped office to its disposal which is also actually used for holding/financing purposes.
